Moriarty returns - Sea Wall in The Independent

seawallfilmandrewscott:

Fans of Sherlock need not feel bereft: a new film, starring Andrew Scott, aka Moriarty, has been released online. Scott has teamed up with the playwright Simon Stephens and producer Andrew Porter (Stephens’ uncle) on Sea Wall, a devastating 33-minute monologue by a young father.

Scott first appeared in Stephens’ play at the Bush Theatre in 2008, then at the Traverse a year later in a critically adored production.

“I’ve had 21 plays produced and I’d never say any one was my favourite. But if I had to, I’d choose Sea Wall,” says Stephens. “One of the things I love about theatre is its impermanence. But we both wanted to keep this one alive. We expected nobody to watch it.”

In fact, it has already been downloaded 1,800 times at www.seawallandrewscott.com. Stephens has a busy year ahead, with five new plays opening in 2012. The first is Three Kingdoms, a trilingual thriller at the Lyric Hammersmith in May and a play for teenagers in the model of the Belgian company Ontroerend Goed. And he’s just put the finishing touches to adaptations of A Doll’s House for the Young Vic and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time for the National.

Stephens wrote the latter “as a favour” to its author Mark Haddon. “On the understanding that we might not get a commission and that I was allowed to fail. Then we took it to Marianne Elliott and Nick Hytner and they loved it. The key is replicating the directness of Christopher’s voice. It would be crazy not to find a theatrical angle on that. I think we’ve managed it.”

I want an audio download of “honey, you should see me in a crown.”

A certain “article” site now has a Twitter account. Please bear in mind how much the woman who runs it has upset Andrew. We can’t stop you following her or visiting her article pages but we implore you to think carefully before doing so. Also remember that she gets paid per pageview for those articles so when you read them, she gets paid for behaviour that upsets Andrew.

Signal boost. The evil Andrew Scott fan has striked again, do not fall for her tactics, I beg of you.

I want to beat the Sherlock cast & crew with awards. They should get so many, that they collapse under the weight. There should be a giant truck required to take the awards home. They should build a castle out of their awards and all just go live there.

Can you picture it?

Martin: Ben, Can you grab me a beer?

Ben: Sure, what room is it in?

Martin: The one made out of our BAFTAs.

***

Mark: Lara? have you seen Steven’s computer? He’s throwing a fit about it again and Sue isn’t here to control him.

Lara: I think it is by the pool made of tears.

Mark: Oh! That’s right. He always writes new episodes by the Pool of Tears. It gives him inspiration.

***

Sue: Andrew, have you seen Rupert? He said he would help me make dinner later?

Andrew: Oh, no he went to the room made of our Oscars to try and see if the little missing bit in the wall of the Golden Globe room could be filled with one.

Sue: But we didn’t win either of those awards?

Andrew: Shhhhhh.

***

Ben: Have you seen Rupert?

Everyone: He’s playing football.

*** 

Everyone: Rupert could you-

Rupert: Not my division.

Louise: We should get a cat.

Una: I’m not going to clean up after it. I’m not the bloody housekeeper.
